    I come bearing exciting news BELLA SLEPT, I got some sleep, I feel recharged again this morning. So the tummy sleeping did the trick. I was so worried about weaning her off the swaddling but maybe that's why she has been so restless at night cause she's trying to get out of the blanket.

    Hope you all had a good night too, BBL, off to run my kids around to all of their social activities

    Not catching here had a crap night. He went down at 7 then woke at 11 for a feed and I was up at 1,3 and then he was wide awake at 4.30 for an hour and a half and then went back down himself from 6 until 7.45 when his sister woke him. She was up at 6.30 but we stuck her in front of Dora and Diego to get a little rest.

    Do you think he may need solids? I was so determined to go to 6 mths this time. With DD I went early at 5 mths. Xavier is 5 mths today and he is way more active than Erykah was. I cant decide what to do. I could do without the hassle for another month as I already cook 3 different meals as I am veggie and DD is fussy and then usually do something different for DH.

    Not sure what to do advice appreciated. And some sleep vibes DS's way LOL

    PS I also missed his Zantac yesterday for reflux he is only on a 1ml a day so I am not sure if he needs it anymore. He wasnt screaming in pain when he woke just woke crying had a feed then settled back to sleep until 4.30 that was.

    We have stopped wrapping Emily and now she is sleeping terribly! I think she is too big for the bassinett now so she will have to go into her cot in the next few days. She kept trying to roll over last night and couldn't so ended up sleeping on her side.
